Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a stream flows over the surface for only a short distance in a karst region, it is said to disappear into the ground, making it a disappearing stream. This occurs when the water flows into a sinkhole or a porous section of rock where it flows into the subsurface. Springs are continuous discharges of water from the underground, exotic streams flow from a humid area to an arid area, and intermittent streams are those that sometimes flow and sometimes don't due to variations in climate or seasonality.
